Looks like a great week to catch up on movies I’ve missed and books I haven’t read. The convention, yawn. The history was made when Hillary and Barack were duking it out as major contenders. The rest is fluff. And is history that historical when it takes an old guard white guy like Biden to save the Obama ticket? Come on. If old white guys who’ve been in office for years are the answer to the win has anything really changed? I think not.

“Win or lose in November, this represents a huge advance for the party – and the country.”

If a BO victory ushers in a “post-excuses” era for blacks, that would certainly be a “huge advance.”

As for Michelle — don’t like her, don’t trust her. But I’ll watch her speech nonetheless.

A historic convention? Oh because Obama’s an African-American. Other than that democrats have little to be happy about. McCain is gaining in the polls. Half the democratic party doesn’t like the other half. How can Obama unite America when he can’t even unite his own party?

if Obama America does not win, God help us all!!!

There really is only one question for Gergen and that is “How much is the McCain campaign paying him for his so called comments.

Good use of the biblical allusion “Through a glass darkly”. But most importantly if the Clinton supporters are going to let emotion get in the way of choosing the next President of the United States of America then we might as well drop a Nuke on ourselves because we will essentially be letting that happen in McCain is ELECTED.

David, I have long admired your even handed view and commentary and only today found your blog. Keep up the great work!

David, the democrats have done a good job so far of showcasing diversity, including the many women and minorities in office. i think they have something going for them.

I am keenly watching to see the post-convention polls.

I am wondering if the media is not being duped big time.
Instead of focusing on the moments and getting out of the
way for what is likely to be the highest rated convention
ever. You can go on AOL, Google, Yahoo and there are
searches for Michelle Obama and the convention schedule,
I can tell you that all over the web Obama supporters are sick
of the media and the Clintons and are making sure to turn
out by millions come November just to stick it to the media
who think that polls give you the total story. The only poll that
counts is on election day. Not the polls were only a couple of
thousand people offer their opinions.

Our corrupt DNC and Obama have greatly mis-calculated the number of unhappy Clinton backers, whom will not be swayed to vote for Obama no matter what. McCain 08

I hope that sometime between now and the election, someone takes the Clinton supporters (who are threatening to vote for McCain, or stay home) aside and explains to them what the saying “cutting off your nose to spite your face” means. And begs them not to deliver the country into the hands of John McBush.

Mundane, but important:

Could you please remove the very distracting Sound Level from the floor bar graph which constantly pulses brightly and is remarkably effective in distracting the eye?

Hi,
I keep hearing that Michelle Obama will tell us about Barack’s values in the Democratic Convention. I certainly hope these values are not the same values Edward’s wife was talking about when she spoke about her husband while John Edwards was impregnating his own values in his publicist which by the way materialized after nine months.

Michelle better stear clear of any anti-American sentiment or it’s over for the Obama’s. American citizens DO NOT want to hear any of that.

Gosh, really pushing the historic part. Why is it historic?

if barak obama was white non of this would be this big…..nonsense in the words of michelle obama “im embarassed to be an american”

I truly believe that if the media stopped feeding the idea that Hillary Clinton supports are angry and upset and not supporting Barack Obama and start reporting on Brack Obama and his position on the issues then the Republicans would not have the opportunity to look at our party like we are a bunch of idiots. I know that you all report news that gets you ratings and the longer you fuel this Obama/Clinton rivalry people, mainly on thye opposite side wil listen. But the race has been run and Barack Obama has won the nomination and I am quite sick and tired of hearing about Hillary Clinton and her woes. I love Hillary and would have whole heartedly supported her if she had won. But I am so over this retoric about her and Bill that it really almost makes me not want to hear what any of you all have to say. I can turn on Bill O’Reilly or any of the conservative stations like FoxNews and her this demeaning conversations. I feel strongly that it is quite demeaning to Barack Obama for you all to continue to do polls on Hillary vs. McCain or continue to cater to the Clinton tantrums and make it news. This man is trying to make history and win the presidency and all we here is how the Clintons are feeling today about the presidential race which they are not participants any longer. No wonder she continues to throw fits and hold delegates hostage, that way she can keep herself and her husband in the news because you all will report if the went to the bathroom today. If the democrats don’t win the White House then we will be able to look back on all of this and say we did it to ourselves.

Has anyone considered there might be a significant number of these
so called Pro Hillary voters, who were actually cross over voter, now using that position to appear like they will vote for a republican.

It is hard to believe True Democrats would switch to cast there vote
for an opposition candidate, who not only represents what they gave
fought against for decades, but have endure for 8 years. That would
negate all the progress that Bill Clinton, one of the best Presidents in
my lifetime, and promote another chance for the republicans to destroy more of what we have work for. You will be allowing the rest of the Supreme Court to be stacked against us. “IT’S THE SUPREME COURT STUPID’ that should be our banner

GO DEMOCRATS for OBAMA ‘08

The buzz of course is that there are tensions with the Clinton supporters. My comment, and I would really like to hear this discussed is;

If the Democrat’s are having problems with even a few delegates, which are the hardcore members of their party, how are they going to get the Clinton Indepedants behind Senator Obama? I was, and am an registered independant, and a Clinton supporter.

Senator Obama chosing Senator Biden over Senator Clinton did not represent change. There would have no higher change than a Black American for President and a Female for Vice-President. Senator Obama basically didn’t listen to the 18 million voters who wanted Senator Clinton. What is that called?

Thank you,

Patrick from Florida

Hey David,

Fredrick Douglas was selected as the first black Presidential candiate by a major party in 1888 Republican Nationl Convention. Please explain why history should be re-written for Sen Obama.

What I don’t understand is why the Democrats didn’t choose Biden as their nominee in the first place. He is the only VP candidate who could give an Obama administration any credibility. He deserves to be in the number one spot.

If the Hillary supporters would actually sit out the election or vote for McCain because they are essentially “pouting in the dunce chair,” I offer this observation. If the “people in dunce chairs” in 2000 had not voted for Ralph Nader and instead voted for Al Gore, we would not be in the screwed up state in this country. Make no mistake about it - McCain is the worst of Reagen (memory problems, stupid statements) and Bush. God help us if we go there for four more years.

This is one year when what is best for the country outweighs party loyalty. We will be be royally screwed if Obama wins the White House. How in the hell a political novice, a lightweight, with no record and no policy decisions of his own, and no experience can become the standard bearer of the Democratic Party will forever go down in history as the befuddled and confused choice of all time. This man reminds me of a banty rooster, crowing about nothing and prancing around like Mick Jagger. We doomed ourselves this time, the Republicans don’t have to do anything except sit back and watch us self destruct. And watch out, because if McCain does indeed choose Colin Powell, there ain’t a chance in hades that we will win. You will see McCain’s poll numbers go up by double digits overnight. We missed our chance. And you can thank the DNC and Obama and his minions when we loose this election. Again.

I do not think Obama won the nomination but DNC declared it to get votes because he will be the first African candidate to win the nomination. No one is playing race game here but the DNC is. Shame cause been a die-hard Democrat I must admit I will be voting republican. If Hillary was the nominee I would most definitely vote for her but not Obama. A man who cannot support even his own half blood brother, how is he going to support the nation full of people who are not related to him.

Gosh! I wonder what party was responsible for instituting Jim Crow Laws? I wonder what group was responsible for the importation of slaves into america and who was responsible for bringing them here?
I wonder what party was responsible for the Emancipation Proclamation?

Can we just watch the convention. Everyone has an opinion of what should be and what should not be. No one knows the outcome except God and that’s only if you believe in one. Vote for who you like and leave it at that.

Rock, Ted. What’s the problem? It’s historic in many ways. Obama will accept the nomination on the same day 45 years ago, that Dr. King gave the “I have a dream’ speech. Also he will become the first african american EVER to be head of a ticket! I’m a black male. I voted for white men ever since I could vote. Democract and Republican.

TO WIN OVER THE CENTER: Show me an economic plan consisting of more than redistributing money I work very hard to earn to others; show me a foreign policy that can handle a Taliban still blowing up girls’ schools in Afganistan and Pakistan; promise me you’ll pick the best legal minds in America, not the lawyers best at hiding their views on abortion. Promise me you won’t pick your high school buddy to run FEMA. Promise me you’ll pick the best people to run America.

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit my imagination gets a little out of hand, but….has this occured to anyone yet???

Biden is Obama Running Mate…… or as I see it Obama Bidladen????????????

Hello AC bloggers,

Today is historical for OBAMA no doubt there, everyone will be celebrating the Victory for Obama, Dem- Men , and African Americans too ”Please lets just call every one American” unless they can’t speak the language or they can’t wear a T-shirt that has RED WHITE AND BLUE. So thats today.. Now lets speak about HILARY CLINTON my hero and the nation’s true hero of 2008. I won’t say that Hilary needed to make history to be the First Lady First President Here. we have seen it in other countries and we know that Mrs.Clinton is passed the levelty of major events or #1 spots. been there done it and done the 9yard in the past. She was running for our support for our good and our needs. No changes needed

Democrats now can enjoy their own democracy of the nation’s democracy, they have allowed the party to break and the leaders to lead in thier own states, cities, possibley regions and now Divided they Fall.

Republicans now are watching the convention preparing to deliver that knock out punch for Obama supporters who totally forgat about politics over knowledge. Yes politics is all about the media the news and the familier faces. but this is only day one for a whole week of out breaks and Obama’s long waited speeches that can make us want to really watch the change not watch him change directions hopefully not.

thank you

I hope that sometime between now and the election, someone takes the Clinton supporters (who are threatening to vote for McCain, or stay home) aside and explains to them what the saying “cutting off your nose to spite your face” means. And begs them not to deliver the country into the hands of John McBush.

*** I beg your pardon? The Clinton supporters are going by the saying “Birds of a feather flock together” OR is that what the Obama camp is living by? Hmmmmm

Obama supporter’s I have a ? for you? As much as you believe in this guy, with your whole hearts, if you thought, even if it wasn’t true, as you have pointed out many times, according to you. If you thought that The DNC, or White People, made some kind of backroom deal with The Clintons. What would you do? would you be pissed-off, would you say you would not vote for HRC? Would you be so mad that you would vote for McCain? Well if you r honest, then you will probably answer yes. And if you answer yes. that Why can’t HRC Supporters be just as pissed -off as you?

After listening to CNN’s initial coverage of the Democratic convention, Wolff and the gang seem to be focusing on the problems for the party and not the message of unity. Does focusing on problem after problem really sell? It’s hard to believe because you guys are a real downer. If I wanted to be depressed I’d switch to FOX. Wolff, you need a spiritual pick me up…try focusing on a better tomorrow before you have us all taking Prosac.

The future of the Democratic party will either be Barack Obama and Joe Biden and the positive changes they can enact with the leadership of the House and Senate … or they will lose because people would rather hold out their anger and support for Hillary Clinton and use it as an excuse to choose badly for their party and their country. Cut off your nose to spite your face! How about cut off our future out of spite!! No candidate is perfect and much of what Hillary Clinton brought to the table was effective and Senator, soon to be Nominee Obama could learn a lot from her engagement with people in small groups … but we cannot survive four more years of Bush-Cheney-McCain-?? … It is time to step up and cover the back of people of integrity against the smears of liars and fools!! Get on board or get out of the way … the Obama victory train needs the tracks!!

This is not about the Clintons! It;s about the future of our country!
To say you would rather vote for McCain just because your girl Hillary did not win speaks bounds about your true concern for what;s important……the economy, health care, the war…… Attention Hillary whiners, get a grip, put your egoe aside, shut up or move on.

Anyone who backed Hillary out of principle and is planning on voting for McCain is an idiot.

I know you think your thoughts are more important than all the Democrats that are speaking, but I do think it is a little rude to continue with your comments/opinions while speakers are making points to their constitutents. I’m sure you will do the same with the Republican convention. Any chance you can be quiet long enough for us to listen to what the speakers are saying? I mean, after all, this is the Speaker of the House you are insulting with your incessant talking!

I don’t think the Obama campaign gets it about the Hillary supporters. It is not Hillary’s place to make her supporters feel Obama is a good candidate. It is his job. Tell me what he has done to make Hillary’s supporters feel that he wants their vote? I keep hearing Hillary tell me to vote for him, but he doesn’t say diddly. McCain said he wants my vote, why can’t Obama?

And while he is at it, he could answer why he is the nominee when Hillary won the popular vote. He could tell me why Ted Kennedy backed him when Hillary won his state. He could tell me why Hillary’s delegates were being removed if they didn’t back him. He could tell me why he released his VP text message at 3:00 am. He could tell me why he didn’t pick Hillary as his VP.

Could he do a commercial with all that information in it? Then he can ask me for my vote because right now he doesn’t deserve it.

I watch Obama give intelligent and truthful answers to questions that are put to him. Rick Warrens question about evil comes to mind. We saw Mccains answer and he gets the applause????? C’mon America do we really want these types of answers???. I am confident I will see the Obama that is going to be the leader we have not had in a 8 years this week. To the Clinton supporters who say they will vote Mccain I can only shake my head and wonder what issues you were really thinking of.

Tammy, LA. Maybe you could be Obamas VP. I will advise you jump into a lake and stay there until 2016.

OBAMA 08 just admit it now ppl! HA!!!!

I am very sad, Obama you will not be my president I am a register democrat and I will vote for Mc Caine. I voted for Hillary and I still her supporter and nobody will change my mind. I trust McCaine over Obama.

What does PUMA stand for ?
Politically Uninformed Mutant Americans

If Obama America does not win, God help us all. Give me a break! Obama is not the Messiah! He is a socialist who wants to redristibute the wealth of this nation and wants to give us even more government. The Democrat party is really the socialist-facist party! Obama and Michelle like middle America, please! How many middle Americans are millionaires and own a million dollar home, and have $600 earings like Michelle Obama. One of the main problems with the Democrat (socialist-facist) party is they believe the average American is to stupid to run their own affairs, only they are smart enough to tell us common people how to live.

As much as I ADORE watching CNN…Wolf, Anderson, Lou, King, et al.,….Your COVERAGE thus far of the democratic convention is making me CRAZY! How can you NOT televise Nancy Pelosi’s speech! and then show me the entertainment!!!!

Can we actually SEEEEEE more of the convention…instead of talking heads and political bigshots….I’d like to make up my OWN mind…watching the speakers, thank you.

If I’m gonna SIT for 5 hours…I like to see just a LITTLE bit of the speakers. I am not going to go on line…after 5 hours of cnn…to dowload speeches I’ve missed. OR sit at my computer for 5 hours to actually WATCH the convention!!!!!!

Please do not force me to change the channel.

thank you.

-disappointed CNN fanatic.

We need a true leader like John McCain who believes in the common man. We need a leader like McCain who will get government out of the way so our economy will grow and does not look down on the common American. God help us if Obama gets elected President!!!

To those Clinton supporters who are upset, get over it! The Clintons no longer own the Democrat party. The Clintons are the past. If I were Obama, I would not even have had either Clinton speak after the way they treated Obama! I hope a lot of you Clinton supporters do stay home. It will help McCain get elected!!! For those Clinton supporters who are women, you act like Hillary should be elected President just because she is a woman. Is that not just as predjudical as as men who discriminate against women because they are women? No one should be elected on the basis of the gender or race!

I’m Pro-Hillary, and I’m proud of it. I’m not going to vote for Obama because He is Muslin with no experiences. His wife hates white people. Hillary was my choice for president. But, media’s bias makes it impossible for her to win. Why should I vote for Obama? I prefer to vote for John. Good Bye!

David G, no real comment on your storyline. But, I would like to say if all voters listened to Michelle Obama and Senator Obama with an open heart I think that they would have a whole different view of them.

I am HRC supporter and am ready to vote for Dem … I am not RACIST to go against him with no reason

I was really looking forward to watching CNN’s coverage but I noticed that there is a lot of commentary over the speakers. In particular I was not able to hear what Nancy Pelosi was saying until I clicked over to the public tv station. They got it right. I hope that CNN’s commentators will not speak over future speakers. The focus should be on the speakers, not the commentators. Let the commentators do their work between speakers.

It is now time to imagine yourself in the voting booth! Can anyone who truly believed in Hillary Clinton’s positions really vote for John McCain? Is 4 more years of Bush/McCain worth having your voice heard? Is another 4 years of Bush/McCain help Hillary Clinton? Does 4 more years of Bush/McCain help you? Picture who you would like to see sitting across the table from world leaders, Barack Obama or John McCain. Barack who will represent the United States with a clear vision of working together or John McCain’s bullishness. We need a man with a steady hand and a thoughtful response, we need Barack Obama!!!

I am crushed as a once proud Democrat to see Mr. Obama and his message of change now gone with the wind after he selected a man to be his Vice President a man who by definition is part of the establishment of Washington DC politics, Joe Biden. Really, could he be so blind not to see the hipocracy of his choice?
Joe Biden has no claim to being a saint. His hands are dirty from almost 30 years of working the political system in our capitol. It is a sad fact that we can not honestly expect a senior member of Congress or the Senate to not have indulged in pork projects, and underhanded wheeling and dealing.
I will not cast a ballot that has Joe Biden attached. I couldn’t stand myself knowing I helped a dirty politician be only one death or disabling event from the Presidency of the United States.
I urge those who read this to see if they can see what Mr. Obama is doing for what it is …Smoke in Mirrors. No Substance, no real stability on the critical issues of our current status.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. would have us buy into the nonstop chatter of Change. Really, what kind of change can we expect as long as Senator Joe Biden attached?

Why is it that we are focused on Michelle justifying her past. Lets dig into the details of our future. I am tired of great speaches that make me feel good but yet leave me empty on next steps in making changes.

Its been seven months of pointing out the obvious, talking about what Doctor King said and pointing fingers at the polaticians that sit next to us.

I know my comments never make a blog on CNN but I will try anyway.

I voted for HIllary in primary and will not vote for Obama in November. Not because I am mad or “emotional” but because I do not believe he has what it takes to protect the American people. He does not have that something, that if push comes to shove, he will be able to push back. I just don’t see it in him. I guess what best describes it is a back bone or a steel core.

Hey David, the only thing historic about this convention is the historic collapse of the democratic party this fall. I think Obama blew it with the Biden pick. Not only has he lost the support of the Hillary backers, now the anti-war liberals are angry. Biden was one of the biggest proponents of the Iraq war. His son is a Washington lobbyist who is being sued by former investors for millions of dollars. I agree Obama needs someone to teach him foreign policy but Biden wasn’t the pick. Democrats should have nominated an experienced leader not an empty suit with a pretty face.
I think it was Hilary who said McCain would bring a lifetime of experience. She would bring a lifetime of experience. Obama will bring a pretty speech from 2004.

With regards to the rift in the Democratic Party between Obama and Clinton supporters: Someone needs to explain to the disgruntled Clinton supporters that are considering not voting for Obama, that “backlash” is a two-way street. Hillary Clinton’s campaign has already damaged Barak Obama’s chances. If she and her disgruntled supporters are perceived as responsible for Obama losing the Presidency in November’s election - then Hillary needs to start worrying about winning re-election to the Senate without a single black vote in New York!

Why would we trust any decision Obama would make from this point forward? His decision not to pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate was a very bad decision. He had a dream ticket. Just about half of the American voters wanted Hillary–so why didn’t he pick her as his running mate? That was a sure win. Now I am so upset with Obama, and a strong Clinton suppoter, I will not vote for Obama.

Please just show the convention. I would like to be able to watch the stage and make my own impressions rather than hearing who may or may not be in the building. I know you have a lot of time to fill, but please!

I am a independent . I think it is very sad that people in the united States of America dont understand the great importants of this election. They are more concerned on there own feelings instead of the true problems facing this great nation. The “ME” generation has yet to get that we need to work together and stop the greed and one sided thinking. These Hillary supporters that want to vote for Mc cain are doing it because they feel they were hurt that is the “Me” attiude this nation doesnt need. When will we learn that nothing has been done for the betterment of this nation in many years not just the last 8 but maybe the last 20 .We need a real leader that can trully change our direction. I hope that the Obama ticket can make some of those changes. The Republicans are no better this garbage of fighting all the time and never telling the truth is only hurtting the nation .That is why so many are become independents.

I’m surprised at many of you in the media who have forgotten about the unprecedented numbers of us - who are young, excited,energetic, don’t listen to polls nor do we get polled and have already shown up to vote for Obama to get him here.

The “old” (and this year literally old) politics just don’t work with us anymore - might still get the media’s attention, but we’re a new force for the republicans to reckon with!

I voted for Gore but I wish McCain had been able to withstand the smear campaigns by the ideological right and been our president for the last eight years. I read a great deal, teach college and graduate level courses and am in good shape physically and mentally. I am aware that as i enter my 60’s, however, my mind is not as sharp (anyone who denies this about their own experience is deceiving themselves) as it used to be. Experience makes up for a great deal but starting a demanding job let alone the presidency at age 71? (First female president? - Nancy was running the white house the last 3 yrs of the Reagan admin.)

Watching the Convention and just heard David G say that not much from tonights as being “news worthy.” I think it is a great and fun beginning to a very important week. Next up is Sen. Kennedy, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Tune in next week for the Republican Convention and I guarantee you, you will be sleep by this time next week.

Happy to be a DEMOCRAT!

Just wondering what part of the term “dream ticket” senator Obama didn’t understand? If the roles had been reversed, senator Clinton would have had the judgement to pick Obama, (like it or not) because she would have known, she couldn’t afford to alienate Obama’s supporters! She probably would have prefered Evan Byeh, but the point is to create a winning ticket ! Obama’s selection of Joe Biden, (although he’s a likeable guy) shows poor judgemet in my opinion.

Senator Obama is not Muslim, his half-brother, whom he knew little if anything about until recently lives in Africa and does not want his help, he is not a socialist. This election would be so much more civil if people would check their facts rather than spout off whatever drivel enters their minds. Be selective, be discriminating and be intelligent. Oh, and to those who continue to consider Senator Obama an elitist or wealthy, you must find it difficult to ignore the true picture of Senator McCain’s finances.

Dave,

Which hand would I play? McCain’s without any doubt. Once Corsi’s book gets circulated, BO has huge problems.

Supported Hilliary, voting for McCain. Anyone who supports Teddy Kennedy is way too far out there in the morality department for me.

Ask not what your country has done but what we can do to help this great nation. It is time we elect someone who represents AMERICA and not some Americans. Obama/Biden is great ticket for change. AGREE ?

Not much gets accomplished by just praising and not offering constructive criticism. So I hope this gets out.

I’m somewhat of a younger voter and I’m watching the convention in hopes of getting excited. I’ve yet to see that. Ted Kennedy actually disappointed me. I think he needed to step up and say, “Let’s cut through any crap that’s out there. We’re here. We’re united. Get ready because here come the Democrats together saying, ‘We’re not going to take this anymore!’”

Where is the spunk? Where is the backbone? Frankly, I’m disappointed.

Mary Jo Kopechne-I know Ted Kennedy has done good-but he should have been in Jail-there are so many people sent to jail and given the chance they would have done good also, it amazes me that people forget what he did to that woman. .

Can we really expect that America will do what is in it’s best interest here? I mean, when gas is $10 a gallon, there are no jobs for young people, healthcare bankrupts the working class, and housing is so bad you can’t buy or sell, oh, and we are in another war bankrupting our national assets. Will we then get our our closeted racist attitudes and vote someone who might change things? Doubtful.

@Joe Yelo - Go vote John if you *really* believe that Obama is Muslim and that his wife hates non-black people. But now knowing McCain’s camp is trying to attract ignorant bigoted people like you I’m glad I WILL NOT be voting for John!

Why would Michelle Obama give a speech about unity? Why would anyone listen to her about unity? Oh, I get it, they are still lying and telling everyone the Democratic Party is unified. So, they are going to have Michelle stand up there an lie about how unified the party is.

I am a card carrying Democrat who is going to vote Republican in November, so don’t let the Michelle talking head lie to you about unity. Unless they are talking about unifying Democrats and Republicans into voting Republican. They have done that.

First “Jeo yelo”- Obama is not Muslim. He’s not some anti-American or the anti-christ as some Republicans might try to scare you into believing. People that fall for this kind of nonsense are just FOOLS. Plus all those pro-hillary supporters better rethink their motives. Come 2012 the GOP wont just stand aside and let her win.

Those who supported Hillary based on her policies, and are now even remotely considering voting for McCain are everything that’s wrong with America. And to switch from a ground-breaking female politician to a candidate who will almost surely try to overturn Roe v. Wade? If you actually think threatening the future of the country is more important than supporting your second (or third, or fourth, or even last!) Democratic choice, then you frankly deserve the misery of the last 8 years.

Anyone who is educated on the candidates knows that there is approximately 5% difference between Obama and Clinton and the differences were rather mild. Both wanted health-care for everyone and both wanted out of Iraq. Clinton supporters who are commiting to McCain brings question to every Democrat out there as to what party you stand for. Hillary has said that it is imperative you vote for Obama, yet a large percentage continue to say you will vote for McCain or not vote at all.

America was founded with the belief it would be the “Great American Melting Pot.” History has shown us that this is not the case, and this election is showing us that we’re still a far ways from that in current day. People condemn Obama because of his name. This is the same type of treatment Jewish people received from Hitler’s regime. Yet Americans still believe we are beyond other countries because we are Americans? Stating that Obama is Muslim because his name is common in the Muslim world is ridiculous. Educate yourself on the candidates before you condemn them.

It’s one thing if a person votes Republican because that is there core beliefs, but to vote opposite party because your candidate didn’t get the nod in the primaries is asinine.

While I am not an Obama supporter, for anyone to continue to claim Obama is muslim does so out of profound ignorance or stupidity. Hillary lost in part because she and her advisors underestimated Obama and ran on experience instead of change.

An historic convention…..I think, David, that every convention I’ve ever seen has been labeled as historic. But, I agree with you on this one - historic because we have the first African American who actually has a chance at the Presidency nominated, historic because we had the first woman in history to come very close to winning the nomination and she completed all the primaries, historic in that people are actually excited for the first time in a long time about what can be done to change current problems if we all work together. Also, we may see the passing of an age with the appearance of Ted Kennedy - I hope not; I’d like to see him at the next convention also.

Hopefully, this will be the election that the Democratic party can rewrite the map of where they tend to win and where the GOP tends to win. There is altogether too much red on that map! Exciting times…..

The coverage tonight is a little heavy on the commentators. Let’s watch more of the speeches and let the commentary fill the voids. I was hoping to hear Jim Leach speak, not hear about his speech. I read the news tomorrow but would like to hear the speeches while they happen.

Bring on Hillary and Bill and get this party going.
Oh my goodness, Obama can give a speech but he can’t throw a party.

The WORST convention TV ever.

While everyone can and should admire Hillary Clinton for everything she has accomplished, everyone who voted for her needs to do some serious soul searching. Does voting for McCain over Obama really push her causes forward and do them and all she stands for any good? Will voting for Obama align more with Clinton’s views and ideals or will voting for someone other than Obama do that? It is ridiculous to vote McCain just because you wish Hillary was on the ticket. Get over it. She isn’t and will not be on the ticket or the next President. SHE WON’T. While I symathize with her and those who voted for her, it is not meant to be. Vote for someone who can do the country good by her. That person clearly is Obama. She WANTS you to vote Obama. Now some are going against her wishes? Nice. While I am a tried and true Democrat and would have voted for Hillary had she won the nomination, it is Obama and I am PROUD that he is going to stand up and fight for all of us. Do the right thing.
Obama ‘08, ‘12
Clinton ‘16, ‘20

Convention:
The Honorable Jim Leach. Sorry… but. BORING. I love my Republican friends… but can we say “boring.”

Also… Jeo Yelo. You said Obama is a Muslin? A muslin is a type of coarse cotton fabric. I just thought I’d help educate you on that point… And on the other point; I’ll pray for you.. I’ll pray that you won’t continue to be sucked into relying on what you hear from others…… rather, you will seek out the truth for yourself.
I’m not a Muslim (with an “M”) but maybe you should try making some friends with some Muslims, so you can inject more common sense into your thoughts…. or you could go watch some Olympics video online so you’ll be at peace with yourself and what it means to be an American.

[to self: why must my fellow American be so ignorant? sigh...]

You guys are cracking me up, you seem to be looking for things to talk about, lol yes the convention is boring except for Ted Kennedy speach,
The music is pretty good though and I love Anderson`s tie tonite.

I was really looking forward to the DNC. I watched Sen. Kennedy’s speech (which was great) and plan to watch Michelle Obama, but so far, the Monday Night Preseason football game has been more interesting. I hope this isn’t indicative of the rest of the week.

As a democrat watching the convention, I think it is a big waste of electricity.

I have to disagree with everything that your team has been saying about the convention opening. Your team just wants a show-there is nothing analytical about any of your comments. In reality, voters like myself does not want not want to see a fight-they want to see a vision. Please conduct some real broadcasting, and stop pushing negative tensions on the public because it is definitely not productive nor accurate.

A Young Democrat!

Maybe you should shut up about how boring this convention is and let us watch and decide for ourselves. My god… Your whining is what is boring.

Get specific about WHY. Why vote Democratic?Point out how bad The Bush Administration has been. Loss of civil liberties. Loss of life in Iraq.So far the message has been preaching to the choir and coming off as a “Behind the Music” episode. People want to know what he will do not who he is. Let us learn about Barack through what he will do for the country not his experiences.

I must agree that the convention thus far has been boring except for the heart wrenching appearance of Ted Kennedy. GOD bless him. However, I must disagree with Gergen and Cargyle’s comments that there has to be a BIG punch on the first day. That may have been the way it has been done in the past. Remember, Obama is the candidate of change and not doing politics as usual. Therefore, the convention not being a slugfest from the outset may be part of that change.

I am sure Hillary and Bill will lay the foundation for the real PUNCH on Wednesday and Thursday when Biden and Obama, respectively bring home the message(s) everyone is waiting to here.

Clinton lovers should wake up, either you are a Democrat or you are not, if you are true Dems you would move on and vote that way, for god`s sake get over it. Put up or shut up, you want change well it`s here, vote for it.

I don’t hear the speakers talking about Obama vs Clinton. That was over in June. They are talking about Obama vs Mclain. Yet, when ever one of you start to interview them, you bring the subject back to Obama vs Clinton. There may be some substance in this story, but I think the media is making it larger than it is.

Gergen and Carvel are lamenting there is no message. You bozos, give it a rest. Just watch. Kennedy was great. Tears were flowing thoughout democaratic households. You have no clue. this is a great convention. I have watched them all since the late sixties after I came back from Vietnam.

Jim

Ted Kennedy was the highlight so far. i wish he could have spoken longer. The democrats better “kick it up a notch”.Obama/Biden 08

I am amazed that anyone could possible still believe that Obama is Muslin and his wife hates white people. She is married, after all, to someone who is half-white, isn’t she?!! God help us if we get four more years of Bush politics, which is exactly what they will get from McCain (McSame). Our country can’t take that. And as for Edwards, McCain is the one who left his wife who waited for him for all those years and ran off with a rich young blond named Cindy.

It is time to make a change and from what I see is that the Democrat party has come behind one man and I feel it great to see that true party leaders do support Obama. And once poeple see that it no about race or party but who is a real person that will live by his words and will do what is right for the US and the world.

So let us all find our path and Vote …..

Tribute and speech were touching, but chappaquuiddick incident in 1969 remains and raises questions that will forever hurt the Senator’s legacy

It sure seems that Both parties are spending several millions on a “party”. For What? Would not this money be better spent on helping our unfortunate Americans maybe even thru health care. Although it would be only a small number of Americans affected it would make a difference in their lives. Barack is a great political speaker but he was only a Senator for 1-2 years before embaking onto the Presidentail Campaign Journey. Hillary would have been the better choice for America would have gotten two for one. The McCains are the only two for one available in this election. Experience over non is always the better choice.

Seems to me the convention is flat, flat, flat.

Depressing - like there is a dark cloud over the place.

I think the Dems know they have a real serious problem, and his name is Barack Obama.

What a disappointing evening - with all the hype about change you’d think they could put together an exciting first night of the convention. Carville is right - 25% of the convention is over and the only high point was Kennedy. Anxiously awaiting Michelle……….

It is important for this night to be a more PERSONAL night . I live in the a very repupublican bible belt area of Florida. I am an independent and an Obama supporter. All I hear is ” I will not vote for a man with a middle name of Hussein”, or ” I will not vote for a Muslim”. The people need to know who Obama REALLY is!!! These people don’t even realize he is a Christian! I beleive that the issues will be talked about in the remaining nights. Tonight, the people need to hear who & what Michelle & Barrack are really all about. The Democrats need to unite and the party needs to appeal to undecided independents & republicans. I hope we can succeed in November. Peace.

Michelles brother is great. The sports analogy is terrific.

Jim

Jay Yelo….

for the 10,00th time:

He isn’t Muslim, he’s christian. Always has been.
He loves white people. He is as white as he is black.

Please take your racist vote with you and cast it for John McCain.

Michelle , I predict is just about to show us what her and the Obama family are all about. They and we shall be proud to have the Obama family in the White House.

Jim

This night held so much excitement and promise. I will admit Ted Kennedy has me in tears.

But once again the Dems disappoint me. Obama has made one poor choice after another. Tonight it seems, the DNC made some bad choices.

What on earth does this all mean? Michelle Obama has already lost me. She is speaking of children I have none.

The only reason at this time I think about voting for him is it is time to stop putting very rich people in the White House!

yelo

I feel for you because you do not have your best interest in mind nor the country we care for. You see I am truly American because I am a part of this country nationally, and heritally, cause I am Half American and I cry for my country. I will be 63 yrs old so I have been trough a lot and seen a lot for my other half is black. The time is now and the change is going to come regardless .

I choose change.

not more of the same with Maccain

I think David has hit the nail on the head. I have been watching the convention tonight and the only highlight has been Ted Kennedy. The remaining time has been lackluster to be kind.

I have been pro Hillary throughout the primaries and still feel strongly that she is the better candidate. Since Obama has become the crowned democratic candidate, I have heard nothing substantive that would make me comfortable with him as president. In addition, to choose Joe Biden as a running mate proves that he wants to be in control and has virtually admitted he has no foreign policy experience. If he had any guts, he would have picked Hillary.

For all the criticism that Bill and Hillary have endured about wanting to remain players in the political scene, at least the country thrived during Clinton’s presidency.

Michelle and Barack Obama are no different than the Clinton’s when it comes to wanting the prestige and power that comes with the White House. They want the power, but what concerns me, is how they are going to use it. Remember, he has less experience than George Bush and look what happened to the country since he became president.

He is going to have a serious battle on his hands against John McCain unless he stops the rhetoric and becomes clear and detailed about his policies. America is in the worst economical and political shape it has been in many years. Obama has yet to define how he will help reverse these very hard times. Especially since by all accounts that I have read, the worst is not yet over.

Let’s hope that the balance of the convention will help Obama develop and demonstrate the same incredible passion that we saw from an ailing Ted Kennedy. If he doesn’t, it will be president McCain in November.

Wake up, Cpinton supporters! I understand that you’re upset about losing, but just like Kerry and Gore, Clinton has no one to blame for her losses but herself.

Obama is a well-spoken, highly intelligent and passionate advocate for the values that are supposed to lie at the core of the Democratic party. Honesty; compassion; respect and dignity for all Americans; a government that serves all Americans, and not just the well-funded few. White, black or purple, someone like that will always get my vote.

John McCain’s best days were years ago. He has a distinguished record of service to this country, but nobody is owed the presidency. He has debased himself by wrapping himself in the flag of George Bush’s disastrous policies and by reducing his campaign to fear mongering and goofy slapstick. Anything but a consideration of the dire circumstances this country is in.

“The world as it is, just won’t do.” America needs someone seriously qualified to bring change, and Barack Obama is that man.

David ,
Even if I don’t always agree with your insights, I always appreciate your honesty and intelligence. I do believe we will get the government we deserve,even if my least favorite candidate wins.

Oh my GOD! Michelle just blew the roof off that place! GO ON MICHELLE!

Just got through watching Michele Obama’s speech and had to leave when Obama’s head loomed over everyone via satellite. There just isn’t any flow to this thing. All I can say is “Yawn”.

I think we should keep a balance in our government, vote for a republican for president and keep the house democrat and the senate independent republican and democrat . that way everybody gets a piece of the action after all when one party controls everything they get very power hungry and we the people pay for it dearly, I am a democrat but will vote for McCain as president every one else I will vote democrat, I am very displeased with the DNC you have made a mess of things you have played your little head games and now it’s going to cost us the party no matter how hard you try to fix it you blew it. Hillary was my choice because of her experience . Obama hasn’t done nothing just talk words are CHEAP!!!!!!!!!

I am a Black Male and I have supported Hillary since before she announced her candidacy. When it became clear that Barak Obama was the presumptive nominee, I threw my support behind him. The United States of America has been stuck in a stranglehold by forces that had little or no care for the issues that face the “average” American. I have a sister who just returned from her second tour in Iraq and I have a brother who is well into his third. I wait EVERY day for the call that I am going to have to go to one of my sibling’s funerals due to the lies and greed of the Bush administration. This madness must stop. We are standing on the precipice as a country. We must decide whether we want to continue on the path of degradation and despair or will we have the courage to update the government that seems locked in the distant past. I know I can’t change anyone’s mind but I would hope that the hope and faith I have managed to salvage will not be dashed yet again. There is only one thing that will pull us out of the quagmire that we have been stuck in and that is to place your vote for someone who will stand up and do his job. The President’s job is not to work for the sole purpose of keeping power. The job of the president is to serve the people.

Thank goodness for Michelle Obama. She (and those adorable little girls) saved the night. Her message was so heartfelt and emotional. I had tears in my eyes.

Michelle did an awesome job in telling us about the values that Barrack holds. The best part of it was the children. I just loved them. Congratulations Michelle for a job well done. You really connected with the very ordinary American. Kudos. Indeed it is change we believe in. Good job!

People, please look at the two candidates positions on taxes, energy, iran, nuclear poliferation, health care, and supreme court justices and ask yourself which positions you would take. If you want conservative judges on the Supreme Court, if you want the broken “trickle down” economy that gives tax breaks to the rich, if you want another war monger to “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb…”, if you want to stay addicted to oil which is destroying our planet and economy and if you want to be held captive by the health care industry vote for McCain . But if you want the opposite and believe what Hillary Clinton believes vote for Barack Obama. Please don’t let pettiness or fear blind your vision.

I am so tired of stupid people. Obama is not Muslim. And what are you saying only certain people of a certain religion and race can be President.

This comment is not for all white people. Most of my friends are white - But for the racists people get over it.

I mean you are not God. God created all of us, Latino, Black, Asian, Native American. What only white people are allowed to ascend to the highest office in the USA. I mean do you hate Condi and Sen. Powell. Why are you so quick to believe everything bad about Sen. Obama. Are you RNC operatives. I cant believe that the Democratic party contains this type of hate for fellow Americans.

Jeo yelo, are you serious? Do you have a swatch to prove that Obama is muslin?

Seriously, though. If you’d climb out of under your rock, or watch some PBS or something in your doublewide, you’d know that a) he’s a Christian; b) his wife can’t hate white people, because that would cause some serious problems with her half-white, non-MUSLIM husband; c) Obama has more experiences (sic) than Bill Clinton did when elected.

I’m a Republican and I think John McCain is not right for this country. He’s the second coming (or third coming?) of Bush and I am sick of them. They have already wrecked our country - imagibne what will happen if the McBush is elected? What country will we invade next?

Good to see that the democratic party in good health. How could you ask for more intouch people speaking , Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Nancy Pelosi what a great roster of useless political figures to start a convention of the” for the poor people party” hahahah what a joke.

David ~
Obama to me is Obush - his inexperience made him choose a vastly experienced running mate, but this is just another manipulation of their campaign. He’s not ready to be President and that is the historic aspect of why the Democrats will likely lose the White House again.

What a great speech by Michelle Obama.
If you cannot see a First Class President, First Clas Lady and first class family in the Obama’s….you simply need to check with your eye doctor, cause u r blind.

I don’t understand how the Obama campaign is being accussed of not being negative enough on the first night of the convention. It’s alomost like the media has its own agenda and wants this man do what they think he should do. Mr. Obama is trying to run a different campaign. Slinging mud is not what anyone in America wants to hear. We are concerned about the gas prices, food prices; and other serious issues facing this country. I don’t get a hoot if they choose to bash McCain or not. Let Mr. Obama run his campaig nthe way he wants to.

Wow, watching Mrs. Obama deliver that speech was like watching a train wreck - either she was under/over coached…or she just wanted to get the whole darn thing over. She was just talking at us, instead of from the heart.

The Hillary people need to get over themselves. This is Barack moment and let him have it. I was crying as Michelle delivered his speech I was crying. He was fabulous and I don’t Cindy McCain can deliver like Michelle. I am happy with the first day of the convention even though the cnn polical analysis don’t think so. Hillary supporters need to get over themselves. It is time to move on and they need to do as well.

Lampe, i would like to answer your question. The problem with your questions is you’re making this thing about Obama and Clinton. The real issue here isn’t about them, its about the democratic party. Its not black or white, man or woman, but how can we get this country back on track to being great. Let’s keep it real, i was a very strong Hillary Clinton backer at one point. Obama ran a better campaign. If you want to ask questions, ask yourself this: How come Hillary allowed Penn to run her campaign, knowing they disagreed on some very important issues? Hillary thought she would clinch the nomination in Feb, so she only prepared enough funds for then, was that wise? How come she ran an old-fashioned campaign, only appealing to a certain group of people? I understand you and many others are upset at her lost, but why are you blaming Obama? Many you need to blame the one who was unprepared. Or maybe blame yourself for not sending in enough money. Oh, and one last thing, even if Obama was not the nominee, i would still not vote for McCain, you see, i am a REAL democrat.

Hillary lover, you first need to finish grade school and learn how to spell. I have one question, “What proof do you have that Barack Obama is a Muslim?” and “What facts do you have to back up your comments about his wife?” Last thing, if you vote for McBush! your just as stupid as you sound!!!!

Jeo- Please vote for McCain, the Democratic party (and that includes Hillary) want no part of a nut case, and a misinformed nut case to boot. Maybe you and Greg Goudy can get together and help the “common man”. That’s certainly who the McCains and the Bushes have been focused on all these years…

Wow, Michelle rocked ‘em. Anyone have any doubts about who and what she loves best? Her country, her husband and her girls. Amazing woman.

I wish that we could lose the cynicism that is the legacy we’ve chocked on for 30 years. It is wonderful to see this — it really is hope. I really feel like I did watching Kennedy. I remember what it felt like to believe in something.

Sorry to gush, but I’m just sick of the hate we’ve choked on for 30 years. I’m sick of the lies the ruling party has forced down our throats while their hands are in our pockets. They’re lining their pockets with the blood of our children. I will never, ever vote for the evil party again.

One more message to the trolls who are pretending to be Hillary Democrats: No you aren’t pro Hilalry and everyone can tell. Please stop. The lies won’t work anymore. No one is fooled. It’s a play right out of Hitler’s lie book.

Good one Jeo Yelo…. Finally someone points out that Obama is muslin, i.e., thin cloth.

While others pursue the spurious claim that he’s a muslim (which of course he isn’t) you’ve zeroed in on the real truth. He’s muslin. And, like most cloth, has few “experiences.”

I can also see why your preference for Hillary Clinton would lead you to vote for John McCain, since he has almost diametrically opposed views. That’s what I always say.. if you can’t vote for your favorite candidate, vote for someone who opposes all their ideals!!

Kudos Jeo Yelo!

Michele Obama’s speach was just what I think Democrats wanted, BUT I have an issue with one portion of her speach. When she referred to “this country”……why not “my country”? Twice she said “this country” like it was a foreign country to her! I still have a problem thinking of her as someone who really loves her country. I think she loves the fact that she may be first lady someday!

I thought Michelle Obama did a wonderful job. It really upsets me when people try to find something wrong with her speech. I thought it was the most moving speech I’ve ever heard. She let you get to know who they are. Make up your mind !

I was very bored with Michell O’s speech and what kind of first lady should we look up to if she can’t look America in the eye and share with us her heart and soul as to why we should elect them as the next First Family. She spoke from someone else’s words and not her own and therefore it looks like I need to vote for the other guy.

I’m going to assume there are a lot of fake concern trolls out here, because all these supposed pro-Hillary people could not possibly be Democrats.

Does America not yet who Barack Obama is after 19 months? Who, David Gergen are “these people”? Black Americans have always been referred to “those people”. America get a grip, Barack Obama is a man who wants to move forward with change. Everybody in American knows what the hesitation is, Barack Obama is a Black man. Is white America ready? Yes, America understands what’s really going on. It’s RACISM, always has been,and always will be. And, I for one, am sick and tired of Black people being questioned. He’s done more than most and still not given credit for his accomplishments. Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. Who is he? A man, not just a Black man, that can bring a change to America.

This was not the night to bash Bush. Get a clue. Its a build up. Dont yo;u understand. You talking heads have no idea. there are not lost hours Gergan. We have a long time to the November election. good grief you finally got it right that Michelle did a great job.

What you do not understand is that its about change.

As you did note Michelles speech was outstanding. And the nation was waiting for that as Donnna Brazille noted.

Have patience.

Jim

David, Did I just hear you correctly?! You wanted them to schedule Senator Kennedy later. HELLLOOOO! I thought his doctors didn’t want him to travel to Denver. We’re lucky he was there! And just as important, the man is extremely TIRED. I don’t think his state of health fits into your scheduling conflict. JEEEZ!

Michelle Obama’s speech was amazing. I was apprehensive about the Kennedy’s appearance being overwhelming. Not the case. She showed how his hopes and aspirations for our country have warm place in her heart, in our hearts, and all the talent and determination to make them real.

We’ve never seen this much talent and potential in a would-be First Lady in modern times. Not even with Mrs. Clinton.

I am absolutely amazed by the number of people who have voiced their intention to vote for John McCain because they backed Hillary. I simply do not understand why anyone who supports Hillary would vote for McCain instead of Obama. John McCain is miles apart from Hillary on every political issue imagineable. This suggests to me that some Clinton supporters are actualy more in love with Hillary the person than they are with what she believes in and stands for politically, as Clinton and Obama agree on most issues politically.

I watched Michelle Obama’s speech and think she hit a HOMERUN! She was awesome! She connected! She did the job! Barack and his family are just like my family and I think he will make a GREAT president. I think the media needs to stop feeding the negative “Hillary supporters” comments….I think a lot of it is unwarranted. YES WE CAN!

If was refreshing to hear all upbeat comments and positive attitudes from the convention speakers themselves tonight. What I was disappointed in was CNN commentators saying they should have been lambasting McCain. Harray for the Democrats taking the high road for the first night of coverage and projecting this new change, and not flinging mud like CNN thought they should.

We are Democrats. We will never vote for Barack Obama.
On election day in November, we will simply not vote.

The DNC orchestrated Obama’s win over Hillary. The situation has so many layers and levels of deception that it still amazes us.

Long live Hillary and Bill Clinton.

A 56-yo white grandson of the Confederacy born and raised in Georgia, I am ecstatic about the qualities of both our next president and his wife, Michelle. That was a solid speech, delivered with sincerity, grace and heart.

I will be so proud of our country when we do wake up and take this opportunity for change. Go Obama!~

A wonderful speech from Michelle…I was happily reminded of the lines in “Man of La Mancha”…and Quijote’s rallying cry for “the world as it should be!”…Our college president (United States International University in San Diego) used to remind the whole student body of that idea as he would play for the weekly convocation the song “The Impossible Dream” from that play… It’s good to be reminded of that.
It’s so good to hear something inspiring from the pollitical scene. I do believe that this campaign offers a wonderful opportunity… wonderful…and possible if we can believe… Ted Kennedy stressed that too. I feel that America can live up to its principles again.

I live in Canada and our politics are no better than in the US, but it is a sad commentary on the electorate when 56% of people polled are not going to watch the convention. I am a Canadian so can’t vote but I will watch both the Democratic and Republican conventions to get a feel for what both sides will be offering to my many relatives in the US. I think both candidates are good men but what the US needs now is someone who can inspire them to greatness. Obama is intelligent and inspires people to perform to the best of their abilities. If elected hopefully he will surround himself with experts in specific fields and take their advise to heart before making “his” decision.

God bless Ted Kennedy, a truly great Stateman. I will keep him in my prayers and hopefully he will be back in 2009 working hard for the underpriviledge people he has shown to care about.

Obama is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian, I can’t believe CNN publishes this stuff.

Is it me? It seems that those Pro-McCain who post here have the worst spelling and grammar (ie. “Mc Caine” and “I am a register democrat”). Sorry, but I must say be very careful when you go into the polling booth. Especially if you live in Broward Co., Florida!

Finally. What an evening for all Americans to be inspired and to feel hope! Everyone!

Great speech on family values. Unfortunately she failed to mention Obama’s brother in Kenya. George lives in a shack off .03 cents a day Seems the millionare senator is unwilling to send his brother $20 dollars a month to lift his brother out of poverty. Is this change we can believe in?.

To Prof. Gergen; All respects to you but I am central (austin), my daughter in Phoenix, my other Family in San Jose. It was the perfect timing for the South(west). Do not be so Boston centric sir. Keep up the good work, just come to Austin more often!

Just words. Just words. Teddy was great job. Didn’t say much but he was very good. Nancy. Why boring Nancy. Doe’s Michelle love America now? And does she like Hillary too? Just words.
